Current Position and Recap

Samantha Sheppard, Senior Commissioner

Current Position

• KCC Adult Social Care commissions a range of services that

promote wellbeing for older people, people with dementia, people with physical disability and people with sensory impairments

• Most
• f

these are funded through historic annual grant arrangements

• Use of grants to commission services has

inherent challenges in relation to:

– Data collection (GDPR) – Performance monitoring – Market sustainability – Adherence to KCC Policies (Voluntary and Community Sector)

Care Act 2014 We have a duty to promote well-being

Current Position

• There are also a number of contracts that promote

wellbeing for adults in Kent, including carers short breaks and Home Improvement Agencies

• These contracts are scheduled to end during 2019

demand for services from the care navigation contract. i.e. what do people want, where are the gaps

enable greater performance monitoring

services by collating information on their users

• Support the VCS, particularly smaller organisations,

encouraging networks of supply and collaboration

• Understand value of investment and nature of prevention

What we need to achieve

• KCC compliance against its Policy
• GDPR compliance from grants
• Transparency in funding for tender
• Understand who is using which services
• Understand what people want through the Care

Navigation and Social Prescribing service
